Give me Hakeem over Admiral all day every day.

I give Robinson the edge because he scored just as much and was quite a bit more efficient.

Robinson was basically Mutumbo on D and as a bonus he tossed in 21 efficient ppg. If I'm making an all-star team then it's Robinson no question. He didn't need to monopolize the ball to dominate a game but he could do that if you needed him to.

We can just disagree, Admiral was good but Hakeem was unbelievable. Great defender, passer, best low post feet work ever. Hard to ignore him making Admiral look like a lost child that one series too.

I can see why you would say him, he tends to get overlooked some. Zo too

Pistons finish their piss poor season vs the bulls.
The pistons have now become what the clippers were before griffin came changing them along with Paul.

Though Durant will win in a vote that may not be close (that's the way things seem to be trending), this should be the closest MVP race of all time. Both guys are having top 5 scoring seasons (Lebron, quietly), post-merger:

Durant - 32.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.3 spg, .638 TS%
Thunder have #2 seed and Westbrook missed 35 games

Lebron - 27.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 6.4 apg, 1.6 spg, .649 TS%
Heat have #1 or 2 seed and Wade missed 28 games

The other 2 seasons I would include for sure in top 5 are

Jordan '88 - 35.0 ppg and .603 TS%
Barkley '88 - 28.3 ppg and .665 TS%

Points Over Par is my favorite scoring stat. The average shot is worth 1.06 points. Points over par measures how many points you average above the expected return:

Barkley '88 - 7.02 points over par per game
Durant '14 - 6.92
Lebron '14 - 6.22
Jordan '88 - 5.98

Welp, Miami susseeded the #1 seed. Probably wouldn't have gotten it anyways.

No major disaster. You'll likely still end up with home court in the ECF unless the Pacers miraculously get their act together and find a way to beat the Nets in the second round. They looked better yesterday, but they're going to have to string a few decent performances together before I'll believe they fixed their problems.

Are you aware of how they've played over the past two months? If your team were struggling to play .500 basketball in the disgraceful East, you probably wouldn't be brimming with confidence.

As Vols fans we have been conditioned to have unreasonably high expectations, and false bravado my friend.

Maybe some people. Not so much for me. The Pacers may well find their way to the ECF, they certainly have the talent. However, with the way they've played since adding Evan Turner, I won't be shocked if Brooklyn knocks them out in the second round.

Rockets join the thunder club sweeping spurs.
Predictable that the spurs garbage fast break d again exposed, howard is playing damn good and harden a beast he still is fear the beard.

First sweep of spurs in 25 years.

Spurs could get a early exit playing the rockets.

Poppovich calls a timeout each time he sees a fast break priceless and damn funny.

Bucks clinch the worst record.
Magic ran out of magic vs the bulls.
